The Empress hastily stepped forward to help him up, her tone somewhat reproachful: "Father, this person is really serious, there are no outsiders here, why take it so seriously? You actually knelt before your daughter."
Prime Minister: "The rites between sovereign and minister must not be neglected."
The Empress: "Father, is there something you need to discuss with me today?"
Prime Minister: "Ever since your brother met his tragic end, your father has been in a state of decline for a long time, not even realizing what happened to Xuanxuan, your father apologizes to you."
